Note to self: Never marry a stripper /I kid. I kid. The idea of his dogs missing him may have saved my older son's life during a rough period of time for him that has, since, improved drastically, or so it seems and so I hope. We have layered our and their lives with great dogs. It's an emotion that's a very subtle survival instinct. And they're so sweet when Archie isn't wildong and eating my wallet. I'll be following his little ATM ass around for the next 12 hours. Archie and Maeby Gracie

"Oh, Archie! You are my little gentleman. I'll take you to foggy London-town!"

It's like the scene from Stepbrothers where they're fighting in the front yard and the mom is spraying them with the hose and everyone from the neighborhood is watching. /whatthefuckingfuck edit to add: The fact that they're wearing red and blue t-shirts, while interesting doesn't track because everyone involved is in the Democratic party. Also, note that it starts behind closed doors but quickly takes the show on the road.

All that's left for the Democratic Party to do is loudly play a game of Stop Hitting Yourself with itself for the next three-or-so months.

Roe vs. Wade

This, all day. At this rate, we're going to be going into November with "Joe Can't Win" yard signs and t-shirts.

Alright. Let's fire up the Bonanzas and see what Flight Aware has to say.

I could, but I'll probably just save it for when I break out the WSM (I did look at their site and they have plenty of adapters I could slap on there or have a buddy weld in place if I ever decided to do that. But first, I'm going to learn to tend a fire myself before I look at things that might make my life easier. That LSG fire management rack is pretty inexpensive and might fit the bill from an efficiency standpoint once I get this thing figured out.

The republicans in the House would block any aid package, particularly lube.

I've been pondering this move for a minute. I love my WSM, and it isn't going anywhere. But I've been eying stick burners. I took a hard look at the Old Country G2 at Academy, and they really knocked it out of the park for the price. That thing is a beast, even not considering it is mass-produced. But for just a little more, and custom made only an hour away, I decided to go with Big Phil's Blue Smoke Smoker out of Caddo Mills, TX. Several add-ons raised the price several hundred over the base level, but this thing is a beast and surely will outlast me. 10--12 week build time. Should be able to pick it up the week of my birthday. I've got a friend with some land nearby, and he's promised to keep me well stocked with oak splits. Wish me luck. Pit is 3/8" steel all over with 1/4" steel end caps. Weighs in at 900 lbs. Add-ons: stack damper, probe port, water pan shelf (like the Franklin pit but removable), and the Tru-Coat (ya, they put that on that the factory).

This makes me happy. We used to go to Dozier's all the time when I was a kid on our drive out 1093 to our ranch near Frydek. My dad always thought a lot of Ed, and I have permanent memories of what Dozier's smelled like back then (and probably still does today). Good on the grandson for buying it back. I hope he does right by the place and can keep it going.

Definitely want to keep scrolling next time.

The correct first speech after this event, starts off, "Gentlemen, countrymen . . . . " Also, the cultish behavior of MAGA looks to be close to putting nonexistent National Championship placards on the side of Trump Tower. Trump should hire Jimbo Fisher.

So I click that, and then I start getting that shit in my feed. Gonna pass. /That said, I've had weirder stuff show up in various feeds for no apparent reason that I will admit. I can't believe C-Man follows Sebastian Gorka.

I don't know, but I pulled up the obit', and it doesn't look like he went to UT (not that that answers the question).

Seems to me that the only way they are getting Trump off that stage is on his own two feet. He's a big, fat load. So they aren't carrying him, and dragging him probably is slow, awkward, and leaves him exposed. The car was waiting close by, so they get him up with the intentions of shielding him and moving him to the vehicle. The problem with this is that he's an uncooperative fuck, who thinks he's invincible. And he's old. So he doesn't bend down to let himself be shielded, move quickly, or do anything but feed on whatever adrenaline might help to expedite his egress to, instead, demand someone retrieve his shoes and play it up to the crowd. Plus, there's a ramp, and we know he's not moving quickly down that seemingly-insurmountable obstacle. It's pretty widely reported that he had the B-team, which was spread thin due to budget and location. The whole thing was a clusterfuck, but Trump being Trump doesn't make it easy when shit goes south.

Letcha nuts hang.

Did I miss it? Why wasn't he wearing shoes?

Move over, Bacon. We're headed up.

I was just reading about the temps on different kinds of smokers. I'd run into problems lately with the WSM because I was trying to run it at 225F. Apparently, that's too low for brisket on a bullet smoker, but pellet smokers, according to what I read, do better at lower temps. For chicken/turkey, I try to get it well over 300F, and I would prefer 350F.

I, myself, am an unbridled enthusiast/propagandist.
